How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

@ Pooflake...Relevant? Slightly.
Considering he's the epitome of vampirism, and the prodigal hero of the entire show (ironically). It's actually meant to BE the famous fanged fecker, but needless to say (for the sake of the strip), using 'Dracula' would have been too blase, not to mention cliche.
It's actually a rather good manga, and a very watchable anime.
